SHC-mediated cascade:FGFR1

SHC-mediated cascade:FGFR1 The exact role of SHC1 in FGFR signaling remains unclear. Numerous studies have shown that the p46 and p52 isoforms of SHC1 are phosphorylated in response to FGF stimulation, but direct interaction with the receptor has not been demonstrated. Co-precipitation of p46 and p52 with the FGFR2 IIIc receptor has been reported, but this interaction is thought to be indirect, possibly mediated by SRC. Consistent with this, co-precipitation of SHC1 and FGFR1 IIIc is seen in mammalian cells expressing v-SRC. The p66 isoform of SHC1 has also been co-precipitated with FGFR3, but this occurs independently of receptor stimulation, and the p66 isoform not been shown to undergo FGF-dependent phosphorylation. SHC1 has been shown to associate with GRB2 and SOS1 in response to FGF stimulation, suggesting that the recruitment of SHC1 may contribute to activation of the MAPK cascade downstream of FGFR.
